I'm sorry your journey to conceive a brother or sister for your son hasn't been easy.
Yes, I think the anxiety is normal, especially in the beginning. After wanting something so badly and having troubles getting it, then yes, I think its completely understandable. Xx
From my point of view, it does get easier. Xx With my last pregnancy, I was sure everything was going to be just fine. It wasn't until my first scan at 8 wks that I found this wasn't to be.
This pregnancy I couldn't have that ignorant bliss like I did before, and I was a bit of a mess. Every day just dragged on. I was terrified that my pregnancy would be over, all over again. I couldn't get excited as I was too paranoid. I was just so sad. I was glad that I was pregnant, but just was too scared to accept it. The reason i tell you all of this, is to let you know that you are not alone in what you are feeling. It is normal to be scared after what you have been through.
As time went on though for me, and I reached different milestones, I started to feel better. Day by day... getting to a new week.... Having that first scan (as terrifying as it was)... having another scan...reaching the 12wk mark...Finding out the gender...All of these things certainly helped. Now that I am approaching 3rd Trimester I feel a lot better. You will still have concerns, but for me, it is nothing compared to how I felt in the beginning. Hang in there Hun. This is your time now. Your beautiful son is going to have a sibling and you will have another child to share your love with. Everything is going to be just fine. Xx
